Thu, 28 Aug 2014 03:43:05 +0000http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2340027#comment-364886I loved that Avs team. Yes, I know, Wings fan who has a soft spot for the Avs… it was such a great rivalry, though. And that Avs team was an awesome video game team – Sakic, Kariya, Selanne on a line together, with Foote and Blake behind them? Not to mention Forsberg, of course. Man, that was a good era of hockey, too.

Anyway. Hopefully what you say happens. It’s well known that Babcock doesn’t want Alfie back as an everyday player, and I can see a ton of value in a part-time 40-year-old who still has a rocket of a right-handed shot, which we sorely need. If he takes a pay cut and plays sparingly enough to stay fresh, it’d work. I hope so.

I just know that I want DDK signed. That kid has veteran poise and savvy already; he needs to be our top priority on defense until he retires or until he proves he can’t handle that responsibility. He’s as polished a young defenseman as I’ve ever seen.

Remember when Paul Kariya played for 1mil on the Avs because Teemu told him the Avs were real Cup contenders? Is see something like that happening.

Don’t get me wrong – I’d love to see both. But if it’s one or the other… it’s DDK, no question.
